Denture adjustments are necessary to confirm that your dentures fit comfortably as the shape of your mouth changes over time. These changes can occur due to natural ageing, weight loss, bone resorption or other factors that affect the structure of your gums and jawbone. When dentures do not fit properly, they can cause discomfort, sore spots and difficulty in chewing and speaking. Regular adjustments involve minor modifications to the denture, such as reshaping the edges, adjusting the bite or relieving pressure points, to improve comfort and function. Adjustments help prolong the life of your dentures and prevent more significant issues from developing.

The frequency of denture adjustments varies from person to person, depending on factors such as changes in your gums, bone structure and overall oral health. It is common to need adjustments within the first few months of getting new dentures, as your mouth adapts to the new appliance. After this initial period, adjustments may be needed every few years, or whenever you notice discomfort, changes in fit or difficulty with chewing and speaking. Regular dental check-ups are important to assess the fit of your dentures and determine when adjustments are necessary to maintain comfort and functionality.

It is not recommended to adjust your dentures at home, as improper adjustments can lead to discomfort, damage or an improper fit. Denture adjustments require a dental professional who can carefully assess the fit and make precise modifications to make your dentures comfortable and functional. Attempting to adjust your dentures on your own can result in further complications, such as increased irritation or damage to the denture material. Additionally, home adjustments can void any warranties provided by the dental lab or dentist. Always consult with your dentist if you feel your dentures need adjusting.
